Children under 3 years of age should have their teeth brushed by an adult. The use of fluoridated toothpaste in this age group is determined by the level of risk. Parents should consult a health professional to determine whether a child up to 3 years of age is at risk of developing tooth decay.
Babies may begin teething as early as 3 months old, or well after their first birthday, but 6 months of age is a fairly common time for teething to begin. Your child's behavior may clue you in to when it's almost time for a tooth to emerge, or erupt, through the gums. Babies are often fussy for up to five days or so before a tooth breaks through. Their gums become tender, sore and swollen.
